Hey guys - I hear all of your guys complaints and we are tweaking them as we go. This is a learning process so we're working on it.
Thanks
It's not something I can quite put my finger on, but it feels as though this review lacks the usual energy of his others. It was still good but in a different way that I'm not sure if I personally like yet. If it's just for Ori and the Blind Forest, I can respect it; it feels like it's embodying the wonder and sentimentality that Jirard attributes to the game. If this is going to be the new format going forward, that's going to be a tonal change for the series that will be harder to which to become accustomed.
On a more positive note, I'm glad to hear it get such a good review! This game has been on my radar for a while now but is one I just haven't had the time to get started. With this review bringing it back to my mind, I'll be sure to push it up my backlog a good bit.
I'm usually not a person to complain, but either this review specifically, or it's a new format, but it felt very un-structurized. As if we just listened to a flow of thoughts. Nothing more.
Also... Ending summary was so much better when it was written out and time spent was also included. It is actually one of the things that I loved the most - to find out how much time Jirard put into the game.
This is probably a really dumb complaint but I really miss the total gameplay time. My roommates and I take bets while we watch each episode (what wild lives we live hahaha).
I really wasn't not a fan of this review. It felt like one of those pretentious video essays that were trying to be "meaningful", but fell flat on its face. I love the completionist for talking about the games, what it takes to complete them, and the struggles (or lack thereof). This just... didn't sound or feel right.
I would agree that the summary section is definitely missed! Besides that, I love the style and can't wait to see more <3
